St Catherine’s Academy, which has 1046 students aged three-16, converted converted to become a Bishop Fraser Trust Church of England academy school in May 2018. The school said that’ significant improvements’ had been made in the leading to the most improved GCSE results in Bolton and the best GCSE results the school has ever had.
The inspectors said the school requires improvement in the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes and leadership and management. They concluded that the school was good in the areas of personal development and early years provision, saying most issues were within the secondary age element of the school.
